Word he insist on playing iso ball too much, of course you gotta run some iso with a player like melo but running that **** 100% is just asinine and bad coaching.

And Felton that was ridiculous why didnt Woodson pull him or just simply tel him you are a PG move the ball. I rarely get angry during Knicks games since their arent my main team but this game pissed me off, terrible pg play and coaching.

You can't post stats from a bad game and not give credit on his good ones. He's been solid so far. Too much emotion right now.

I think Felton has been taking too much shots for like the past 4 games its just really catching up to him now, the Knicks whole style has been really unsustainable too many 3's, to much iso, not enough PnR, and the lack of Amare who's scoring down low is desperately needed imo even with his flaws.

BTW, I started to hate Novak, dude's not doing ****, misses his shots, doesn't know what to do while getting back on D... this is an L, we ****ing lost last 3 out of 4.

Judge season by blocks of 10 games. We went 8-2 in the first 1/8th. No we are 1-2. If we go 4-6 that does negate the good start... But we lost 2 games b/c Melo missed shots at end of regulation to win it. No panic yet.

Teams are daring Knicks to beat them by letting Chandler and Felton score. Triple Carmelo, get rebounds, don't let JR get into a groove or Novak a free look from behind the arc. Most of Felton's misses were wide open gimmes

Thats a good measure, but the Knicks style of play has been alarming they seem to be developing bad traits on offense that aren't condusive to winning.

Where else could Woodson turn? Pablo sucks. Felton only PG we had tonight. Woody doesn't have a great bball offensive mind, that is evident. No imagination to final Play in the 4th tonight or in Dallas... But Carmelo has to make those clutch shots, especially if he's gonna miss 6 FREE throws.

I don't think Felton had good looks tonight to me it looked like he forced most of his shots. But you are correct about how teams are playing the Knicks but reverting back to iso ball is not the answer there was a few stretches during the game where the ball was being moved and they looked good but it was too little team ball.

But it's still mad early and this team isn't 100%

I agree. This is why NYK need Amare. All this nonsense about fitting or not is crazy. He is our only legit #2 scoring option. Even adding Shumpert will help balance our off attack. Right now all we have is ISP to melo, shoot 3, dunk Chandler. Defenses will continue to trike Carmelo, especially since he gets no calls (so get physical on him).

If Novak isn't making 45%+ on his 3s then he's useless. He gives it right back on defense. I'm surprised these guys were so lost on defense when it seemed like woody had them zoned in on defense this year. The player who had gone downhill the most defensively is Chandler.
